Rarer than rare, plain Jane ‘56 Special 2 dr sedan

Radio, clock, windshield washer and even defroster delete. Not even a heater hose is present. Non flexible steering wheel and conventional transmission which in 56 with the 322 would be the 6 bolt.  If anybody is seriously interested I’d love to go look at it for you.

If it wasn't rusted out, worth it!

OK, I’d buy it (seriously) but this $4,000 asking is nonsense.  I’m dealing with this now, trying to buy a project with a young man.  Everything is $3,000, $4,000, $6,000.  And you know these Facebook sellers have $500 in these cars!  But the sellers don’t care.  It’s free to put anything on Facebook marketplace.   They create an ad, get 200 + “is it still available “?   It slides down the Facebook algorithm and there it sits weeks later at $4,000 no sale, no adjustment to price.    
 

What’s it worth?  Looks solid and complete.  But cmon!  The cost to restore about anything is $50,000 +.   Even a base Special.   The asking price is a sure sign this seller cares zero about Buick history.

Right. It was priced right. And likely sold for $1500 not $2000.  Of course we won’t know, but $2,000 is not out of line.  In the Midwest these Facebook sellers are selling cars at $2,000 or lower (project). But $2,500 and above they are not.
